After Action Report

The Mavericks snuck past the 76ers 127-125. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 76ers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
